First,
so glad I found this site!. there's so much i have already read and learned from older posts. returning to bowhunting from my younger years(as a teenager shot a compound)
But, i have received a martin x-150 as a gift, and have been shooting(relearning) the basics, etc. this year i would like to hunt with it. i bought some arrows one sale last year just to play around with. this year i decided to set things up better. I have a b50 string, the martin is rated 45# at 28". my draw is 27.5" and my draw wt at that length is 41#. i emailed a popular bow supply company and the guy told me to start with aluminum 2117. I looked at eastons chart and could see it was too stiff. I called the company and another guy there said 2016's cut to 29". i bought them cause of the easton chart and his recommendation. they don't fly well at all, even at full length. talked to a local bow shop guy and he said at that wt all the recurve shooters he knows shoot 1916's. I have now a set of them(1916s) on the way. Am I on the right track? I am shooting 125g points bare shaft. the arrows seem to hit left of point of aim mostly, and nock up, even though i have the nock pulled down to 0(even to the shelf). Is it my form? I am hitting 8-10 inch groups at 20 yards even with the 2016s. Any help/guidance would be appreciated. thanks, david
